Who would have thought that a medical innovation by a small, four-man company would save lives on the Iraqi war front? Developed by First Care Products, the Israeli Emergency Bandage has established a strong hold in the field of emergency medical services.
The Israeli Emergency Bandage is a first-aid device used when a person is suffering from traumatic, uncontrolled bleeding. Moving on to how it actually works, this modular bandage needs to be wrapped around the bleeding injury, with the sterile, non-adherent pad coming into direct contact with the wound. This process applies pressure onto the wound site, thus staunching blood flow.
There are 4 variants of these emergency bandages 4, 6, 6 with slider and 8". The Israeli Emergency Bandage 4" and the Israeli Emergency Bandage 6" are the most popularly used emergency bandages. The only difference between is that 6" Israeli Bandages have an expanded size of 6" x 13.5".

The Israeli Emergency Bandage can even be used by an injured person single-handedly with no assistance. There's a closure bar smartly placed at the end of the bandage to clip into place once the dressing is done. This fool proof closure system ensures that the dressing stays in place.
